Does it need to be announced - the rules are the minimum you do, any extras that make you safer are down to you.
I wouldn't go shopping at the moment without mask, gloves, sanitizer and a very suspicious view of everybody else in sight.
We are like that too but in reality do we actually need to be ?
Hi Mob...If you're thinking of testing it out .....let me know what colour flowers flower you'd like...l like to be prepared

Wearing gloves doesn't help unless you change them between every place you visit. Like health workers do between patients. Otherwise they merely spread contaminants including the virus between surfaces. For personal protection handwashing is equally if not more effective. The virus doesn't enter the body through the skin. That is why the medics and scientists haven't advised using them.
I agree about ' Latex ' gloves but that is not the case for cloth type gardening gloves .... fingers crossed

Don't forget your secateurs as they will help with social distancing

Most kind ... we would like some very strong white plus some granary flour if you can lay your hands on it, we cannot get any viral hand sanitizer either so a few flowers would be most welcome.

Correct Sir Merv...but l think most in my age bracket only go out to do one outlet shopping......otherwise use a sanitiser between shops.....at the very least the wearing of gloves works as a reminder not to touch your face.
Talking about social distancing, we went to get fish and chips the other night and there was a queue with the distance painted on the street.
This old fella came in behind me and immediately stood very close.
I moved up a bit to create distance and he bloody well followed me, keeping close.
In the end, I very politely asked him if he wouldn’t mind moving back a bit to create a bit of space.
He happily did this with no issues but did appear not to fully understand why.
It’s clear that some still don’t get it.

Correct Sir Merv. Don’t know what I was thinking.
That kind of ventriloquism doesn't resonate with me screwy.

I had a similar experience in the bookies yesterday...The floor is sectioned off into a two metre spaces for navigating around the shop and for placing of bets....While l was being served a chap stepped in that space....l didn't have to say anything as both me and the cashier both looked at him at the same time which was enough to put him on the back foot. I think we all need to be aware of our personal space and not be afraid to drop a polite reminder should someone encroach into your space.
Social distancing is great for me. Let's keep it forever. I've always hated those people in queues at supermarket check outs or airport check ins who get so close they keep nudging you with their trolley.
Meanwhile back at Brexit the good old not very Independent are whipping up fears of food shortages again. Stand by for more panic buying.
Hi Sir Merv…I haven’t checked out this story but just off the top of my head… if a no deal Brexit and a winter spike in coronavirus were to happen, then I could see food shortages taking place… whether that be through panic buying or the supply chain being disrupted…probably a mix off both.

The most likely cause of food shortages is people buying stuff they don't need, like happened this time, then throwing loads of it away when it rots before they use it.

For those of us who can afford too, a bit extra each week should produce a sizable Christmas hamper which should go some way towards helping alleviate the queues…. although I did say to my wife the other day that the 9 jars of Nescafe were going a bit over the top

We only have 8
We also multi buy Nescafe when it's on offer, and I think we have 6 or 7 large jars in the cupboard. Similar with Andrex Quilts and Colgate sensitive, but nne of it is related to possible Brexit shortages.
The Lancet is now reporting that the Oxford vaccine is safe and produces an immune reaction (or that seems to be the correct interpretation). I have to confess that I've tried to read the report and failed to understand most of it.
Sorry, have tried to post a link but it's not working. Google Lancet and Covid vaccine and that should produce it - perhaps someone more scientific than I can then translate?
